NKW YORK — Wilh the 
Academy Award ceremonies 
only a week away (April 13). 
the record companies are again 
stirring lo the motion picture 
beat. In the past few years the 
Oscar season has raised disk 
company hopes for gold rec- 
ord crops and, in the past two 
seasons. Columbia has walked 
away with the Oscar tie-up by 
scoring wilh Andy Williams' 
albums of "Moon River" and 
"Days of Wine and Roses." 
Both LP's received gold record 
awards. 

With Broadway ablaze on the 
disk scene and new original 
Broadway cast albums moving 
into best selling position on the 
charts with an impact un- 
matched since the days of "My 
Fair Lady," the labels are again 
looking to Hollywood sound- 
track sources in hopes that new 
impetus for the record market 
can again be added in that di- 
rection. They're banking on the 
Academy Awards hoop-la to 
build new consumer interest. 
Coiumbia's "Lady" 

Columbia Records, which will 
release the soundtrack album 
of "My Fair Lady" in the fall, 
is already gearing for next 
season's Oscar tic-ins. This week 
it released two soundtrack 
scores, "The Fall of the Roman 
Empire" and the track from the 
documentary "Point of Order." 
Goddard Licbcrson, president 
of Columbia Records, also signed 



a pact this week with Samuel 
Goldwyn Jr. to release the 
score of "The Young Lovers." 
The score for the film, which 
stars Peter Fonda. Sharon Hug- 
ueny and Nick Adams, was 
written by Sol Kaplan. Inci- 
dentally, it was only a few 
months ago that Lieberson pre- 
sented Samuel Goldwyn Sr. 
with a gold record for the 
soundtrack of "Porgy and Bess." 

Another new Columbia LP 
from the films is the New 
Christy Minstrels' "Today." 
which features tunes from the 



MGM pic "Advance to the 
Rear." Also in the Columbia 
orbit is ""Lilies of the Field, " 
which is being released on Epic 
Records. Columbia's subsidiary" 
label. "Lilies of the Field." inci- 
dentally, is an Academy Award 
contender in the "Best Picture " 
category this year.

RCA Victor, currently riding 
the charts with Henry Man- 
cini's '"Charade. " is now ready 
to roll with Mancini's latest

RCA Victor's Overseas P.A. Drive 



NEW YORK — The technique 
of using personal appearances 
to promote an artist's record 
sales on an international level 
is now being developed in- 
tensively by RCA Victor. From 
the standpoint of the label, that 
is the raison d'etre behind Ihe 
Central European tour of Chet 
Atkins. Jim Reeves, Anita Kerr, 
and Bobby Bare, all of whom 
embarked via Lufthansa Thurs- 
day (2) on a 12<ity tour of 
Europe. Another notable aspect 
of the tour is that it showcases 
Nashville as a talent and music 
center of international impor- 
tance — with regard to pop a.s 
well as country music.

RECORD PREVIEW DEBUT: 
WILL BOOST LP SALES 

The first issue of the new pocket-sized LP magazine for the 
consumer, tilled Record Preview, closed this week. The 32-pagc 
edition, in full color throughout, is published by Billboard and is 
now being offered for bulk purchase by dealers, rack jobbers and 
one-slops through appointed record distributors in most parts of 
the country. 

A guaranteed minimum distribution of 200,(X)0 copies is 
planned for each addition. 

Four editions of Record Preview are planned for the remainder 
of 1964. The first edition will be dated May, to be followed by a 
June issue (out May 15). the October issue (out September 14). and 
a special Christmas edition to be dated December, and issued 
November 9. 

To date, bulk orders have been received from more than 100 
record dealers in all parts of the U. S.. in Canada and as far off as 
Great Britain. Other parts of the world will be covered through 
purchase by U. S. Navy Exchange. 

Most dealers are ordering Record Preview wilh their own store 
imprints on both the from cover and bound-in order form, and thus 
strengthen the board between the retailers and their customers. 

Dealer plans call for distributing each edition of Record Preview 
in one or more of several ways: (1) By mail lo their customer or 
charge-account lists; (2) as stuffers. with purchases made in Ihe 
store; (3) to offer it free, or sell it. to customers who come into the 

iCt-nlinued on page 'V* 



Although the tour is being 
promoted by European impre- 
sario Karl Buchmann. it is no 
secret that RCA Victor has done 
a lot of planning behind Ihe 
scenes and has been working 
on finalizing this package for 
about a year. Key executives 
in blueprinting overseas tours 
for RCA Victor talent have been 
Dario Soria. vice-president, in- 
ternational liaison department, 
and R. L. Brodcrick. interna- 
tional merchandising manager. 
They have maintained close con- 
tact with Steve Sholes, division 
vice-president, pop a.&r. and 
Ben Rosner. manager, pop a.&r. 
in plotting the potential of 
artists" disk sales around the 
world. 

Victors (o Europe 

In the past 18-24 months, an 



increasing number of Victor art- 
ists have made ihe European 
scene, and have reaped heavy 
rewards in disk sales — apart 
from whatever income derives 
from personal appearances. Not- 
able Victor acts who have been 
tilling this international field in 
this way include Paul Anka, 
Neil Scdaka. Al Hirt. Peggy 
March, Henry Mancini and Del- 
la Reese. 

More RCA Victor acts are 
being scheduled for overseas 
lours. Miriam Makeba. for in- 
stance, will be overseas in May. 
Her schedule will include ap- 
pearances at Ihe Olympia. 
Paris, on May 13 and 14. 

The philosophy of Victor is 
that it has a very large stake in 
the overseas record business; 
thai it has the greatest inter- 



national artist currently m Elvis 
Presley; and that there is a 
direct and profitable correla- 
tion between sales and appear- 
ances. The evidence has been 
building. Paul Anka"s record of 
" Ognia Volta." for instance, sold 
750.000 copies in Italy alone.

GERMAN TREND 



LP's Getting Upper 
Hand in Disk Mart 



By OMER ANDERSON 

COLOGNE — A radical 
switch in West German disk pro- 
duction will heavily influence 
the 1964 production programs 
at all major diskeries. 

Most of the diskeries are pre- 
paring a tactical withdrawal 
from extensive singles produc- 
tion to concentrate on the boom- 
ing LP field. Study of 1963 
sales statistics shows that any- 
thing the single did last year, 
the LP did better. 

Most diskeries seem to feel, 
with Eleclrola and Ariola Euro- 



disc, that the surface has barely 
been scratched in exploiting the 
rich LP lode. The trend here is 
toward a bolder LP repertory 
than has been visualized in the 
U. S. For example. Electrola is 
establishing a department to ex- 
port to North America specialty 
and novelty releases from its 
domestic production. 

Ariola likewise visualizes tre- 
mendous production potential 
for the LP, primarily in non- 
classical production. The LP is 
considered lo offer a flexible 
recording format for original

Everest Stops 
Fontana Lynne 
Single Sales 

HOLLYWOOD— Everest Rec- 
ords was granted an order to 
show cause and a temporary re- 
straining order against Mercury 
Records, restraining Mercury's 
subsidiary, Fontana, from press- 
ing and selling the Gloria Lynne 
single, "Be Anything But Be 
Mine." Hearing was set for 
April 15. 

Everest contended that its 
contract with Miss Lynne is still 
valid. The artist had filed a 
suit against Everest in New 
York in December, claiming 
that her pact was breached by 
Everest. A month ago. Mer- 
cury's Smash label announced 
it had concluded an arrange- 
ment for Miss Lynne's material 
through an independent pro- 
ducing firm. Fontana, the 
Smash sister label, issued the 
Gloria Lynne single in question. 

Last week's court action here 
was the aftermath of a prelimi- 
nary injunction granted Everest 
against Mercury Productions 
during the previous week. Mer- 
cury sought to block this, con- 
tending lack of jurisdiction by 
the California court over that 
firm. The filing technicality was 
squared away with Everest gain-

GLASER CLAIMS 
LOUIS LP SOON 

NEW YORK — Joe Glascr, 
head of Associated Booking Cor- 
portation, last week scotched the 
report that he did not want 
I ouis Armstrong, whom he han- 
dles, to follow his "Dollv" single 
^mash with an album. 

"Not true." states Glaser. "I 
wanted Louis to do the single 
because I wanted to prove a 
pomt; namely, that Louis could 
come up with a smash single if 
he had the right material. No- 
body wanted to cut singles with 
him. So Jack Lee (of E. H. 
Morrisl and I talked to Dave 
Kapp, and we got the single. 
Kapp is to be commended. He 
helped us prove our point." 

Cilaser expressed the belief 
ihat an Armstrong album fol- 
low-up would be released 
wMhin one month. 



out by CBS but it's not yet 
been set. 

Among Ihe other foreign lan- 
guage entries are the original 
cast album of Ihe Berlin produc- 
tion in German by Philips and 
an album of the Hamburg pro- 
duction, also in German, on the 
Ariola label; a Dutch version on 
Philips, a Danish treatment on 
Philips and a Swedish language 
treatment, also on Philips. 
Columbia First

ready sold over 5,000,000 LP s.

sions of the sound track in 
French, Italian, Spanish and

NtW YORK— The teen-age 
record fans in the metropolitan 
area divided their affections and 
their allowances about evenly

at press time that WINS' Mur- 
ray Kaufman show at the 
Brooklyn Fox and WMCA's 
"Good Guys" show at the New 
York Paramount would draw 



about SI 80,000 each for the

and roll show going for it during 
the pasi holiday week and the

CCD GRABS 
BIG SHARE OF 
ITALIAN DISKS 

ROME — Two-year-old satura- 
tion domination of Italo pop 
disk market by RCA Italianu 
was brought to a halt by shift in 
public taste which followed San 
Rcmo Festival with result that 
CCiD International with at least 
five records in top-selling lists 
has taken over the leadership. 

Giuseppe Giannini's sagacious 
grouping of U. S.. Bnlish and 
French labels along with Italian 
artists in the set-up he revamped 
less than a scar ago has paid 
dividends His lop-selling arlisis 
include Gigliula ( inquetti, Con. 
nie Francis. Cicne Pilncs. Bobbs 
Rydell and Mane I aForet

Beatles Win 5 Awards 
For Songs They Wrote 



Elliot Wexler Begins 
Three New Disk Labels 



NEW YORK— Elliot Wexler 
has formed a new corporation 
which will operate three labels. 
The firm will issue material 
on the Purist, Son-nova and 
Moon labels The Purist and 
Son-nova banners will retail for 
a list price of $5 98 for both 
stereo and mono. Moon will be 
a 99-cent label operating in the 
kiddie disk field. .All will be 
distributed through Wayne Rec- 
ord Corporation located in this 
city. 

The bulk of the material in 
the Purist catalog has been 
culled from Ihe Top Rank disk 
vaults. This material was ac- 
quired from Ihe Rank organi- 
zation by Horace Grenell, who 
picked up the tapes when Rank 
disbanded ils U. S record hold- 
ings. Wexler reports that he 
has 50 LP's available for the 
Purist line. He also has 300 
singles in hand from Ihe same 
cache 

Initial RcleoM 

The initial relea.se on the 
Purist label will be made up of 
10 albums by the Knighls- 
bridge Strings, probably the 
most popular of all Top Rank 
product. 

The music is on the softer 
side, with lush string back- 
grounds coupled with first-class 
standard material. All of Ihe 
tracks have been assembled lo 
follow specific themes. 

One LP, for instance, con- 
tains standard repertoire in a 
Spanish vein with such lilies 
as "Amapola," "S i b o n c y," 
"Green Eyes" and "Perfidea" 
giving an indication. In Ihc in- 
itial release, there are cases in 
which a particular album theme 
is repeated with different ma- 
terial. 

The attractive art work has 
been done by Milton Glascr 
who has a strong reputation in 
the commercial art world, hav- 
ing done work for such maga- 
zines as Esquire. 

The Purist albums include: 
"Spanish Mood," (SP 2); "Ha- 
waiian Mood" (SP 3): "Nos- 
talgic Swing Mood" (SP 4): 



"Theater Mood" (SP 5); "March- 

ing Mood" (SP 6t: "Waluing

Weiss Flies Wide to Add 
International Accounts 



HOLLYWOOD - That man 
about planes. Bobby Weiss, is 
currently stopping over here to 
nail down a number of publish- 
ing and disk representation 
deals to add to his already 
growing list of accounts for his 
International Holding Com- 
pany. Lid 

Weiss flew to the West Coast 
from Puerto Rico where he was 
on a special assignment for the 
Harry Fox office, and visited lo- 
cal record companies and music 
publishers. 

NARM Okays 
New Members 

NEW YORK — The NARM 
board of directors has approved 
Ihc associate membership ap- 
plications of three record manu- 
facturing companies. These are 
Original Sound Record Com- 
pany. Recording Industries Cor- 
poration and R. D. Cortina 
Company. 

The new members will be 
represented at Ihe NARM con- 
vention. Original Sound will be 
reppcd by Arthur Newbergcr. 
lop sales exec: Joe Csida. presi- 
dent of Recording Industries 
Corporation, will represent RIC. 
and R. D. Cortina. Inc.. parent 
company of the Cortina Acad- 
emy of Languages and Ihe In- 
stitute of Language Study, and 
the original producer of foreign 
languages on phonograph rec- 
ords, will be represented by 
Robert E. Livesey, sales exec. 



Prev lous lo this Weiss had 
been on a tour of the Far East, 
visiting Tokyo and Manila In 
Japan W'eiss iipened his own 
office in Tokyo and appointed 
Mrs E Ishizaka to head Ihe 
local IHC set-up. Also in Japan, 
he discussed a new series of T\' 
spectaculars to be broadcast 
over a 2»>-weck period featuring 
key American and European re- 
cording stars. IHC will function 
as co-ordinator of production 
for these shows. 

\S hilc in Manila, Weiss visited 
all associated areas to the music 
scene He brought back a num- 
ber of copyrights, including a 
tune that is the current rage in 
the Philippine city, "Manila, I 
Love You " This was recorded 
by Vic Soledad on the Villar 
label. He also brought back 
other masters of past Philippine 
hits which he expects to lease 
lo record firms globally. Weiss 
believes Soledad has the poten- 
tial to become a world-wide 
disk talent and also has high 
hopes for another Villar artist. 
Pilata Corrales »He will prep 
syndication of her English and 
Spanish language disk in the 
near future. 

Also in Manila, Weiss met 
with attorney William Quasha 
to discuss piracy problems. Of 
special concern lo the two is 
the local publication and re- 
cording of tunes without com- 
pensation to original publishers. 

After his West Coast stay, 
Weiss journeys to Mexico City 
and then lo New York and 
Europe.

While some of Ihe enchusiasm 
voiced hy German disk impre- 
sarios for Ihe I.P seems improb- 
ably lyrical; in fact, il has a 
solid l^bJ sales basis. German 
diskeries. in accenting Ihe LP, 
arc merely listening to the till. 

The German trade analyses 
sales in terms of disk uniu. 
compiled as follows: 



The unit formula is calculated 
to reflect more accurately the 
value of sales by weighing the 
LP proportionate to its higher 
cost. The 19*).? sales figures, 
compared with those for 1962. 
show clearly thai the trend is 
toward Ihe 12-inch I.P and that 
singles are sinking fast. Some 
disk producers feel that their 
compatriots who profess un- 
shakable failh in the future of 
the single are blind to the un- 
mistakable implications of the 
\^t>\ sales figures.

Victor also has a hot. strong 
soundtrack with tlvis Presley. 
The company is |ust getting off 
his lost hot LP. "Fun in Aca- 
pulco" and is now going full 
steam on "Kissin' Cousins." 

Other current entries of im- 
portance are "Tom Jones" on 
Ihe United Artists label and 
"It's a Mad. Mad. Mad, Mad 
World" also on UA. Both pic- 
tures are represented in this 
year's Oscar sweepstakes in one 
category or another. Dccca is 
in the running now with its 
"Beckei" soundtrack set. 

Future hot prospects include 
Ihe film tracks of "The Sound 
of Music," Walt Disney's "Mary 
Poppins," and "Say It With 
Music," the Robert Goulet 
surrer that will feature music 
by Irving Berlin. 

At present, the all-time best- 
selling soundtrack LP is Co- 
lumbia's "West Side Story," 
which has been riding the 
charu for over three years and 
has registered over 3.000,0(X)

"West Side Story" racked up

quite obvious.

There is less inclination lo

She struts and preens and 
coos her way through a sariety 
of songs that range from very

$250,000 collection. An incom- 
parable stylist, the songs serve 
merely as an adjunct to Ihc 
accouterments. 

The entertainment does not 
entirely come off for a number 
of reasons. Miss Baker has been 
poorly served by the production. 
While everything about her is 
expensive and exotic, everything 
surrounding her seems a bit 
shoddy (possibly due to the 
contrast). The orchestrations are

NAB Tastes 
WQXR Nip 
On Liquor 

WASHINGTON — New York 
FM .Station WgXR's break with 
the nt>-whisky advertising agree- 
ment will be a big buzz at the 
N.AB convention this week in 
Chicago. WtJXR's decision to 
lake S7().(MKI in hard liquor 
advertising was followed at once 
by a bill lo bar such advertising 
on Ihc air. co-sponsored by Sen 
Warren Magnuson. chairman of 
the Senate Commerce Commit- 
tee, and Sen. John O. Pastore. 
chairman of its Communications 
Subcommittee. 

NAB's featured speaker. Rep 
Oren Harris, chairman of the 
House Commerce Committee, 
has also indicated stron^ily to 
WyXR that such a failure in 
self-regulation by a broadcaster 
who accepts whisky advertising 
is sure to bring down govern- 
ment restrictions. Harris indi- 
cated thai ihe same goes for anv 
broadcast failure lo lone down 
cigarette advertising 

Senators Magnuson and Pas- 
lore, in 19<>l. refrained from 
this type of legislation when the 
National Association of Broad- 
casters and Ihe Distilled Spirits 
Institute pledged mutual bar to 
hard liquor advertising on Ihe 
air Al that time, ccnain distil- 
lers were pushing hard for 
broadcast lime Current failure 
of N.AB President I eRoy Col- 
lins' pica to S\'OXR to change 
lis mind, decided the legislators 
lo act. and act fast, on this one 

The Magnuson-Paslore bill 
provides penalties of from Sl()0 
to SI.IXX) or up to OIK year in 
jail for licensee who airs hard 
liquor advertising, and also 
penalizes Ihe distiller who buss 
Ihe air time The bill amends 
Ihe Communication Act. and 
violation of the liquor sponsor- 
ship ban could cost the broad- 
caster his license, under the 
terms of the legislation.

PROGRAMMING NEWSLETTER 

Jazz DJ/s Too Far Out? 




By BILL GAVIN 
Contribuling Editor 

RADIO PROGRAMMING does nol concern 
ilself exclusively with achieving No. I ratings. 
Various types of programming take deliberate aim 
al smaller audience segments. 
Country music, rhythm and 
blues, classics and jazz each 
ailract smaller numbers of lis- 
teners than do the so-called pop 
music policies. 

SUCCESS IN SPECIALIZED 
MUSIC programming requires 
above all thai it deliver a fairly 
consistent and predictable audi- 
ence. Then, given a realistic rate card and a 
hustling sales staff, specialized programming can 
and does attract enough advertisers to show a 
comfortable profit. 

OF ALL THE SPECIALIZED types of music 
programming, probably the least understood — 
and most abused — is jazz. A great deal of jazz 
programming ignores listener levels of under- 
standing and interest. Too many jazz d.j.'s are 
completely subjective in their selection of music: 
they set their own personal taste as the arbiter 
of what to play, and they pay little attention to 
the type of jazz thai is most in demand, as 
shown by the sales reports on jazz LP's, 

TO RADIO LISTENERS, acceptance of jazz 
depends on understanding. Like all art forms, 
jazz is a form of communication. It must say 
something — must make some sense — to the lis- 
tener, who then in turn must like what it says. 
The jazz performer shares with the composer the 
creative role. He does nol merely interpret the 
music; he adds a new dimension to it, from his 
own knowledge, feeling and skill. In doing so, he 
makes use of a certain musical vocabulary which 
may or may not be widely understood. 

THE VAST MAJORITY of today's adults grew 
up on a musical diet of fairly simple harmonies 
and rhythms, ranging from nursery songs to the 
more sophisticated, but none the less elementary, 



Broadway musical productions. The diatonic con- 
cept, as in the C-major scale, plus a few closely 
related key changes, as in Haydn and Mozart, 
are the basic vocabulary that the great majority 
of radio listeners can understand. Just about the 
c>nly form of jazz that can express itself in such 
limited harmonic language is traditional Dixie- 
land. Modern jazz ranges far afield in the realms 
of polytonaliiy, atonality and the whole lone 
scale. It follows the pioneering of such classical 
giants as Hindemith, Bartok, Milhaud, Stravinsky 
and many others. 

TO THOSE WHO HEAR nothing but un- 
pleasant dissonance in such polytonal patterns as 
B-flat major superimposed on a G-seventh, much 
of modern jazz is unintelligible. There is, how- 
ever, a steadily growing number of educated 
ears which are beginning to make sense out of 
what the jazz musician is trying to say. Also, 
among the untutored listeners there is an expand- 
ing desire to learn the language. 

IF THE JAZZ D.J. presents his show for listen- 
ers with varying levels of understanding, rather 
than for just the thoroughly oriented jazz buffs 
and musicians, he needs to be something of a 
teacher as well as a preacher. He must include 
the simpler jazz forms as well as the more complex 
ones, following the pedagogical precept of starting 
out with what the student can grasp, and building 
frorri there. Most of all, he must be aware of his 
subject mailer, not only in its historical aspects 
but also in its current developments. Down Beat 
is an important jazz-oriented periodical that 
should be required reading. For practical insights 
into the problems of being a jazz d.j.. Del Shields 
publishes a monthly Jazz Newsletter that should 
be helpful. You may write him at S4-7-A Chest- 
nut Street. Philadelphia. Attendance at various 
jazz festivals, from Newport to Monterey, is 
highly advisable, 

THE JAZZ D.J. may command a much smaller 
following than his colleagues in the pop field, 
but their enthusiasm, loyalty and intelligence 
more than compensates foi iheir smaP njmber. 
Jazz is a rewarding musical experience, both for 
the listener and for the d.j. who specializes in it.

THE NO. 1 RADIO STATION SERVICE* 

The recording industry supplies the largest srngle programming ingredient for most stations 
across the country. Columbia Records is the leader that provides the best broadcast service in 
the business. Through many exciting innovations, we have managed to ease the never-ending 
problems encountered by program directors, disc jockeys and record librarians. At the same 
ttme, we continue to seek ways to improve upon our successes. By our constant effort to build 
new artists we assure a steady flow of star names for airing in the future. Radio, in turn, exposes 
a performer's talents and recorded material to the public. This intermingling of two closely 
allied industries calls for ever-closer cooperation with mutually beneficial results for both.

People believe what they read in

that wc have more people re- 
searching and writing and re

What is important is what appears 
in print. And what is printed in 
the issue this week or any week 
is all part of a plan to help 
readers. This is important to us. 

We help our readers because 
they tell us so. We print more

we are always adding more excit-

That's why more people buy

COMMUNITY AFFAIRS PROJECTS 



Broadcasters have long been aware 
of their responsihiliiics lo the com- 
munities they serve. Responsible 
broadcasters realize that the ultimate 
success of any broadcasting or tele- 
casting operation depends on the de- 
gree of acceptability the station has 
in the market The FCC has also done 
much to encourage stations to be more 
aware of serving the public's conven- 
ience and necessity resulting in a 
strong increase in aggressive, creative 
and active public service programming 
and station promotions. 

For the first lime this year. Bill- 
board is including just a few of the 
many outstanding public service- 
Community affairs projects success- 
fully undertaken by radio and TV 
stations across the country. It is hoped 
that by highlighting these exemplary 
efforts other stations may derive ideas 
for their own public service ventures 
or the adaptation of another station's 
project for their own market. 

K-5 Project 

When recent studies revealed pos- 
sible dangers of cigarette smoking. 
KFIV radio (Modesto. Calif.) em- 
barked on a project to recruit "Teens 
Against Nicotine" The station dis- 
tributed a small card to 5,500 junior 
high school students. The school with 
the largest membership in the "Anti- 
Nico-Teen" club was awarded an 
American Heritage Junior Library. 
The station subsequently included 
educators. parents, parent-teacher 
groups and members of the clergy in 
the over-all promotion. 

Penny-a-Month Campaign 

KDKA radio (Pittsburgh) and its 
listeners have proved again that "if 
you watch the pennies, the dollars will 
take care of themselves." as the station 
reached a new high of $27,053 in its 
annual "Penny-a-Month" fund-raising 
campaign for Children's Hospital. In 
order to express their gratitude to the 
thousands of persons who have con- 
tributed to the project that asks for 
only 12 cents — one penny for each 
month of the year — from each donor, 
the staff and talent of the station hold 
a traditional "Thank You Day" and 
air their thanks throughout that day. 
By asking for a small amount the 
station has discovered that many per- 
sons give to the fund who might not 
otherwise do so. In addition, a number 
of special events were staged by the 
station to aid the campaign. A gala 

Aprd It, 1964 > Billboard 1964 fi«d'0 Programming Guide 



film premiere, record hops, a "Penny 
Countdown" at three suburban shop- 
ping centers, were just a few of the 
special events. 

All Heart 

WDGY radio (Minneapolis-St Paul) 
pledged Itself as a major selling 
force for the Heart Fund in February, 
the official national heart month 
WDGY air personalities along with 
the station manager, promotion di- 
rector, visited 40 youngsters at the 
University of Minnesota Variety Heart 
Hospital on Valentine's Day. Gen- 
erous numbers of valentines, received 
by the station during a valentine con- 
test, were presented to each of the 
youngsters, aJong with a red carnation. 
The WDGY deejays became auction- 
eers for the Heart Fund at a Pie 
.Auction held at a shopping center. 
Shoppers were invited to bid on the 
pastry with the proceeds donated to 
the Heart Fund. As a follow-up the 
deejays competed in a pic-eating con- 
test following the auction. 

Educational Loan 

A 2 1 -year-old Negro youth has 
been made the first recipient of an 
educational loan in the student loan 
program established by WCKT-TV 
(Miami). The youth was selected by a 
committee made up of prominent edu- 
cators and civic leaders. The loan 
enabled the youth to continue his 
education. 

Scholarship 

A Washington, D. C, high school 
senior walked off with the Kinney 
Coordinator title and a $1,000 scholar- 
ship to any college of her choice when 
a panel of leading educators picked 
her over 50 contestants from the area. 
The contest, co-sponsored by Milt 
Grant and his Teen Network and the 
Kinney Shoe Stores, was the climax 
of a year-long-on-the-job training pro- 
gram for the 50 teen-age contestants — 
each representing a different school 
in the area. The gals worked after 
school and on weekends as fashion 
coordinators at the 15 Kinney stores 
and as teen reporters on the Teen 
Network's four radio stations. WINX. 
WEEL. WAVA. and WPGC. Their 
first job experience — the gals in ad- 
dition to earning money for college 
expenses, gained valuable experience 
in both radio and in the selling field. 
Grant hopes to make this a continuing 
on-the-job training program for the 
youth of the area, in line with the 



President's program for youth op- 
portunity and job placement. The 
contestants were judged on the basis 
of scholarship, aptitude, achievement, 
potential, leadership and personality. 

Safe Driving 

KYW radio (Cleveland) presented a 
'eries of public service announcements 
titled "Portrait of a Traffic Statistic." 
Programmed 20 times per day, the 
spots are voiced by members of the 
Cleveland Accident Investigation Unit 
who describe some of the worst acci- 
dents they have encountered. Their 
accounts deal with the most violent 
and tragic fatalities and injuries 
caused by driver and pedestrian negli- 
gence. 

Fund Raising 

WLS (Chicago) in a giant fund- 
raising campaign for the United Cere- 
bral Palsy Association launched The 
Frankie Avalon House Parties. What 
is a Frankie Avalon House Parly? 
WLS has the answers in a attractive 
kit that is mailed to each inquiring 
WLS listener. The kit, endorsed by 
the UCPA National Teen Age Chair- 
man, Frankie Avalon, gives party 
suggestions along with ways to raise 
money for the 21,000 persons afflicted 
with cp Pictures of WLS air person- 
alities and Avalon accompany sug- 
gestions in the kit for dance step 
contests, novelty auctions, gourmet 
treats and free soft drinks to start 
the party. 

An incentive is directed at the party 
hosts and hostesses. For every $10 
raised at their parties, each receives a 
free ticket to a special theater party 
in downtown Chicago attended by 
Avalon. Hosts at the theater party are 
given an opportunity to win a trip, 
and other gifts. In addition WLS dee- 
jays visited many of the parlies. 

Scouting Committee 

Four radio and four television 
stations have formed the Broadcasters 
Committee for Scouting to provide 
Boy Scout opportunities for young- 
sters from densely populated neigh- 
borhoods in the city who might other- 
wise be unable lo participate. Com- 
mittee work was coordinated by the 
Chicago Area Council. Stations 
WBBM-TV, WBKB, WCFL, WGN- 
TV, WON, WIND, WLS and WNBQ 
provide assistance beyond the level 
of public service announcements. The 
project has received widespread praise 
from Chicago community leaders.

Focal Point 

Noteworthy among the more ex- 
pansive, energetic and effective public 
service projects conducted by radio 
and TV stations is the Focal Point 
projects conducted by several Westing- 
house Broadcasting Company radio 
and TV outlets Designed to focus the 
individual station's power and influ- 
ence, as well as the minds of the com- 
munity, on a major area problem, the 
project takes different forms in each 
market. For examble, in Pittsburgh, 
KDKA radio and TV concentrated on 
the unemployment problem plaguing 
the area. The stations carried their 



microphones and cameras into the sur- 
rounding communities for on-the-spot 
town hall meetings in which the com- 
ments ot government officials and the 
populus were aired. This series of 
regional broadcasts were only a port 
of the station's year-long efforts to 
create a community awareness of the 
jobless situation and to seek solutions 
to one of the Iri-State's most pressing 
problems. 

Tc«n-age Cabaret 

WGH radio (Norfolk! has received 
special recognition from the city of 
Virginia Beach for its part in conduct- 
ing Teen-age C abaret dances at the 
Virginia Beach Civic Center. WOH 
deejays appeared as master of cere- 
monies at these weekly dances that be- 
gan last spring and have attracted an 
average of .^()(> teen-agers each time 
they were held Small tables with 
candles create a cabaret atmosphere ai 
the dome civic center. Planned firsi 
as a summer activity only, the cabaret 
has become a year-round event. 

Rasltcllmll Anyone? 

WS.M radio's basketball team has a 
dual purpose in Cincinnati — ')0 pet 
cent of the money raised at these ball 
games goes directly to the High School 
Athletic Fund. The remaining 10 per 
cent has been diverted to the WSAI 
Scholarship Fund. At the end of the 
season the station had more than 
SI.OfKt in the fund and divided it into 
five S2(X) scholarships awarded to out- 
standing students in the station's lis- 
tening area. The awards were made at 
a Science Award Banquet held in late 
spring 

Kntcrtainmcnl Bureau 

WJRZ has set up an Entertainment 
Bureau designed to provide talent to 
North Jersey organizations. Operated 
under the supervision of a licensed 
woman American Guild of Variety 
ArtislK agent, the Bureau will have 
available all types of acts, from circus 
to an orchestra, including emsees. ma- 
gicians and clowns, and will be a 
clearing house for a complete assem- 
blage of talent. 

or .Special Interest 

Three Omaha television stations — 
WOW-TV, KMTV and KETV— began

Interest" for distribution to all 1. 850 
teachers in the Omaha Public School 
System. The bulletin lists both local 
and network informational, educa- 
tional, religious and outstanding enter- 
tainment programs of special interest

RADIO -TV 
CONTEST 
EXCHANGE 



Here are some successful contests 
run during the past year by radio 
stations from coast to coast (includ- 
ing Hawaii. Alaska and Canada) that 
may prove of value and interest to 
Radio and TV program directors, pro- 
motion managers and disk jockeys. 

Sing Along 

KUDL (Kansas City) conducted a 
Singing Good Guys Kuddle-test 
whereby each of the air personalities 
sang a current hit or "oldie." Listen- 
ers were asked to vote for their fa- 
vorite d.j. singer and at the con- 
clusion of the contest, each "Good 
Guy" picked a card from those sub- 
mitted and the winners received a 
prize. Even the winning d.j. won a 
prize. 

•Sickly Singer" 

The CKY (Winnipeg) "Good Guys" 
recorded individual records, and they 
were featured on a rotating basis at 
the rate of one an hour for two weeks. 
Listeners were asked to vote for the 
d.j. who was LEAST likely to suc- 
ceed as a pop singer. The winning(?) 
"Good Guy" receives a lifetime con- 
tract NEVER to record for Quality 
Records. He also picked a person 
from those who voted for him to re- 
ceive a similar contract and $100 in 
cash. 

More Sing-A-Long 

KDKA (Pittsburgh) "Sound One" 
contest has all 10 station air personal- 
ities hununing, singing or playing a 
musical instrument to the tune of 
KDKA's call letter jingle. Listeners 
were asked to identify the person 
"sounding one for the Sound One." 



WIBBAGE Word Game 

This contest has listeners listening 
every hour for the different "Wibbage 
Word" while special operators make 
calls throughout their signal area ask- 
ing, "Do you know the Wibbage 
Word?" The listeners responding with 
the correct word for that hour re- 
ceives a prize. 

>*Cupid Contest" 

This contest was inspired by WWDC 
(Washington. D. C.) radio disk jockeys 
who. upon learning that one of their 
own was a bachelor, launched a cam- 
paign imploring Washington area 
girls, single, ages 18 through 35, to 
write in and tell why they wanted to 
be wooed by the "lone WWDC bache- 
lor." The winning gals receive prizes 
and a night-on-the-town with the 
bachelor. Loads of promotional pos- 
sibilities with this one. Check WWDC 
for the other details. 

Mystery Voices 

WNJR (Newark) invited listeners to 
identify five well-known personalities 
and their voices were played numer- 
ous times throughout the day. Clues 
were added as the contest progressed. 

Bus Contest 

A recent WABC (New York) contest 
offered a seven and one-half Ion 
prize to the charity or institution that 
could present in 77 words or less the 
most valid reason for needing a bus. 
Winner was the Cerebral Palsy School 
serving Nassau County. The 35-foot 
bus. formerly used by the station as 
a mobile unit, was a natural for trans- 
porting children confined to wheel- 
chairs. Great public service angle 
here, too! 



Aprit II. 1964 • Billboard 1964 Radio Programmifls Guide 



Kookiest Kontest 

KFJZ (Fort Worth) wanted to find out 
just who would be kooky enough to 
try to bake the biggest cookie! 
Plenty of tie-in possibilities for sta- 
tions on this one. 

Get Out of Town 

To enter WJZ-TV s (Baltimore) "Get 
Out of Town" contest, viewers were 
asked to fit names to pictures of a 
dozen top stars who would be appear- 
ing on Channel 13's new "Early 
Show." In addition, contest entrants 
were to include a short statement as to 
why he or she would like to get out of 
town. The winner did just that, at 
WJZ-TVs expense. 

Call a Friend 

All listeners to WNAC (Boston) had 
to do to enter this contest, and they 
could enter as often as (hey wished, 
was to send in a postcard with their 
name, address and telephone number 
and the name, address and telephone 
number of a friend who listens to 
WNAC in care of any of the station's 
air personalities. One lucky card was 
selected each hour and the friend 
phoned by a d.j. If the friend knew 
the "phrase of the day," which 
changed each day, then both people 
won duplicate prizes. 

Ground-Hog Contest 

When a radio station conducts a con- 
test completely out of its coverage 
area, through the facilities of another 
station, that's news! WSPD (Toledo) 
conducted a Ground-Hog Day con- 
test over WPME, exclusively for 
Punxsutawney listeners. WPME lis- 
teners were awarded transistor radios

The business of progrom- 
ming a radio station or net- 
work, large or small, is 
serious business. The over-all 
success or failure of a local 
station or rodio network de- 
pends largely on the caliber 
and know-how of the indi- 
viduals who on a day-to-day 
bosis guide and develop the 
"sound" that ultimately ema- 
nates from the I i s t e n e r's 
speaker. 

Billboord has sought out a 
few of the nation's many top 
programming leaders — each 
of whom represents a specific 
programming area— to discuss 
their modus operandi and 
programming techniques.

Radio Programming Elements 

By Bill Gavin 
Contributing Editor 

^^^^ Commercial radio is 
^^^^^ a pan of show business. 

^ Like Ihealer or movies. 
^^^^^'^f radio depends on box 
^ ^ 4 office. The size of Ihe 
'^/-.'fc audience determines the 
jt 35^^ success of the show. 
l^tf^^^H The problem is to pre- 
HflHIH sent the show that a 
large number of people will want to 
hear. Radio listeners don't buy tickets. 
The only measure of a station's audi- 
ence is furnished by various listener 
sun'eys, conducted according to ac- 
cepted research techniques. Where the 
old-time performer used to "count the 
house" beyond the footlights, radio 
counts its house by the numbers in 
the audience rating surveys. 

Radio is part of the news. The im- 
mediacy of radio's news coverage is 
unmatched elsewhere. Through a 
combination of the wire services and 
its local news gathering team, radio 
i:oniinues to hold the public's confi- 
dence for being "first with the latest." 
Beeper telephone interviews with 
people in the day's news have brought 
a new dimension of human interest 
to news reporting. While radio cannot 
compete with the daily press for news 
in depth, or with commentaries and 
features, it (radio) is pre-eminent for 
its fast reporting. 

Radio is also a part of the adver- 
tising business. The e.xtent to which a 
station can deliver an audience pretty 
largely determines its income. The 
advent of television was forecast by 
many as the doom of radio. Adver- 
tisers would turn exclusivelv to the 
double impact of sight and sound, it 
was feared. Such fears proved ground- 
less .Advertisers soon found that spot 
advertising on local radio was highly 
productive in terms of cost per thou- 
sand listeners. True, the big name 
shows with their big budgets, moved 
to TV, Radio had to offer more 
economical entertainment. It did. The 
salvation of modern radio has been 
Ihe phonograph record. 

Record BusincM 
Radio is a pan of Ihe record busi- 
ness too. The switch in local program- 
ming from the live but drab output of 
a string trio, or a concert baritone, or 
Aunt Suzie's recipes, to recorded 
music suddenly provided record man- 
ufacturers with an undreamed of 
showcase for their product. The record 
business boomed. People liked the 
music they were hearing. 

The record people brought out rec- 
ords that played at new speeds — 45 
and 331/.1 rpm. The quality of re- 
cording and reproduction was vastly 
improved "High fidelitv" became a 
watchword. All over the world, it 
seemed, people wanted to own more 
and more records; and they wanted to 
hear the new records on their radios. 
We will not belabor again the fa- 
miliar details of how Mr. McLendon 
and Mr. Storz, two fabulously success- 



ful radio entrepreneurs, capitalized on 
the realization that the records that 
sold the best would also attract the 
largest number of listeners to their sta- 
tions. This idea had been pioneered 
some time earlier, one of its best 
known exponents having been Martin 
Block, with his "Make Believe Ball- 
room " on WNEW. New "york. How- 
ever, the new concept, called " top 40." 
soon became Ihe bible of pop music 
programming. 

The concept of popular music en- 
tered a new phase with the rapid 
growth of the record business, along 
with the rebirth of radio. No longer 
did the sales of sheet music determine 
the size of a hit song; it was the sales 
volume of a record that made a hit. 
All eyes in the music business turned 
toward the disk jockey and his turn- 
table. Radio airplay could build fame 
for a star and large profits for pub- 
lishers, composers, lyricisls, producers 
and so on. 

Radio and Music 

This new revolution did not put 
radio in the music business. Radio 
had been there all along. The singers, 
the bands, the arrangers — even the 
sound engineers — who are now mak- 
ing records, once were an integral part 
of the radio that used to be. Radio 
has always been a prime showcase 
for commercial music. Radio is still 
a pan of the music business, but with 
a vast difference. In the gala days of 
network radio, its musical arbiters 
were usually musicallv trained. They 
could direct the destinies of the pro- 
duction from the control room, follow 
a score or a lead sheet, chide the 
soprano for singing flat, or rearrange 
the risers and the mike placement for 
the male chorus. Today"s musical 
arbiters are disk jockeys. They do 
not hold their jobs because of their 
musical knowledge (which some few 
of them ac(ually have) but for their 
ability to present an interesting air 
show' and to have some awareness of 
a new record s hit potential. 

Let us correct one point. As a 
group, disk jockeys are no longer the 
arbiters that they were before the 
adsent of top 40 radio. The biggest 
single power in record programming 
today is a statistic — the monolithic, 
weekly statistic of record sales. The 
disk jockey is required — on pop music 
station, at least — to play the top-sell- 
ing records. He may, in some cases, 
have a voice in selecting the new rec- 
ord releases for his program, but on 
many stations the program director 
or the music director makes the deci- 
sion. The disk jockey who programs 
his own show without outside inter- 
ference is becoming something of a 
rarity. 

The switch to sales statistics as a 
programming guide has substituted the 
preferences of millions of record buy- 
ers for the judgment of musically 
trained producers and directors. The 
result has been a vast downgrading 
of such hitherto sacred musical values

as intonation and vocal quality. Ob- 
viously, a large segment of the' radio 
audience is indifferent to these things. 
\Vc now have "soul." "the sound." and 
"the heat ' As long as adherence to 
record sales data continues to produce 
radio's high audience ratings, we can 
expect Ihis common denominator of 
public taste lo control radio's pop 
music output. 

There is no point in deploring popu- 
lar tastes in music ( ertainly. there is 
no intent to deprecate thcni. It is. in 
fact, a pretty healthy sign when mass 
media programming is dependably re- 
sponsive to mass tastes. If Ihis implies 
more 'rock" in radio — and more 
Westerns in TV — there are also oc- 
casional top qualiis musical perform- 
ances that become big hits. 

Radio: show business, advertising, 
records, music news, commentary, 
human interest. These are the elements 
of radio programming. Whether a sta- 
tion is programmed by a formula or 
by individual genius, its program con- 
tent is made up of these manifold in- 
gredients. No other commercial en- 
terprise that 1 know about means so 
inany differeni things to so manv 
different people. No wonder that so 
many who work in ii are devoted lo 
radio. It's opportunitv. It's challenge 
It's fun. 

Humor in Radio 

By Hulh M>yer 
Program Dirtclor. WMCA, New Yorli 

1 As a program di- 
^^^^^ rector I have always 
i^^^^k ■ been convinced that a 
W radio station with a 
' ^ sense of humor can 
<-n really make ii big in 
^ *^ ""rket. At WMCA 
a\,^Hwe have proved it. and 
~ Z^™' believe that New 
York is not as dissimilar to other 
markets across the counin' as many 
broadcasters imagine People arc 
people, as the cliche goes . . every- 
where. And any radio station serving 
the tastes and interests of people 
in any market must scrse that audi- 
ence with honests and objectivity 

two qualities that are "musts" in a 
station's approach to on-the-air humor. 

Of course, humor — like music — is 
a subjective, terribly personal experi- 
ence. A joke that compleieh breaks 
up one listener leaves another utterly 
untickled This is why the clement of 
humor in the day-to-day programming 
of a radio station is lodged in such 
a subtle, sensitive and dangerous area. 

What are the sources of humor in 
broadcasting? The most obvious is the 
programming of the comedy album 
cut. i.c . selections from ' Vaughn 
Meader's "First Family." Allan Sher- 
man. Shelley Berman. and the use of 
funny records a la "Mr. Custer." 
"Hello Mudder. Hello Fadder. " etc. 
We listen to all the funny stuff that 
comes into WMCA at our regular 
music meetings and try to evaluate 
It by much the same standards which 



wc use to determine the value of other 
potential hits. We try to keep our 
own personal reactions to a comedy 
record just as separate as we do when 
we pick other promising selections. 
It's no! unusual to have our entire 
music meeting collapse in hysterics 
at a comedy record . . . and then have 
ever\hod\ vote "no" when it comes 
to putting It on the air. 

Careful Proerammine 
Once it's chosen for on air play, 
a funny cut or record must be pro- 
grammed more carefully than a regu- 
lar release, and it must be watched 
constantly for audience reaction. 
Humor is a much riskier, much more 
unpredictable form of enterlainment 
in modern radio. It's a lot tougher to 
pick a hit from the comedy records, 
as witness the number of "hip " com- 
panies which turned down the "First 
Family" album before Cadence final- 
ly swung with It. and the number of 
radio stations that were afraid to play 
it One of the quickest ways to com- 
mit broadcasting suicide is to program 
a comedy record that doesn't make it. 

Less obvious, but more important, 
is the handling of D.J. humor on a 
radio station. You can't sit down and 
say. "Fellas, we're going to have a 
(unny station ... so be funny. " From 
elephant jokes to political satire — if 
ifs forced it just ain't funny. At 
WMCA we have a swingin' team of 
genuinely funny guys. They think 
funny off the air and sound funny 
on the air. And. bless 'em. nobody 
told em to. ITiey just relax anil 
let their own personalities mesh with 
the upbeat, happy sound of the sta- 
tion Which. I suppose, is the heart 
of the matter. For the disk jockey's 
humor to come across with appeal 
lor the listener, it must be an out- 
growth of the D.J.'s own personality. 
If in real life he doesn't think funny, 
if his humor on the air isn't a spon- 
taneous reflection of his own personal 
dynamics, it's going to sound forced 
to his audience. His joke books and 
joke services may be stacked as high 
as a P D.'s fishy eye. but if his humor 
isn't genuine his audience knows it 
immediatel) and resents him for it 
No Personal W him!i 
When an air personality starts in- 
dulging himself in the music he plays, 
he's dead But it s a far easier trap 
to fall into self-indulgence with his 
approach lo humor . . . and that can 
kill him just as dead and almost as 
quick. He's got to he competitive with 
his comedy in the same way he's com- 
petitive with everything else. Confi- 
ilence in his own professional ability 
IS what ultimately makes a D.J stand- 
out, sure But unless he comes to the 
station every day with the knowledge 
that "they're after me" . . and revels 
in the fight . he's no competitor. 
And any D,J. who hasn't the guts to 
compete shouldn't be in radio. 

Naturalness, pacing, timing . . . 
there are so many ingredients neces- 
sary to bring the element of humor 
effectively to life at a radio station 




that the only general statement that 
can possibly be made on the subject 
is: be yourself If it doesn't feci right 
don't do it. When in doubl . . . 
shut up. and stick to the music tJiat 
fits your sound. 

I hat's whs when a station gets 
hot. when it hits right with a warm, 
friendly, happy, humorous approach 
to itself and to life around us . . . 
that's when you sound like a winner 
that's when you are a winner. 
And that's when you know vou have 
the winning combinations of swingers. 
Then, nobody can catch you. 

Programming a Modern 
Music Network Flagship 

By Ricli Sklar 
Piagram Monagar. WABC, N.w York 

WABC, "American 
Radio" in New York, is 
a modern music station 
with a sound all its 
own in the market. The 
sound comes from se- 
lectively integrating lo- 
cal and network pro- 
gram elements, and 
welding the corporate identity and 
resources of the American Broadcast- 
ing Company to the free-wheeling 
flexibility that marked the independent 
station in its heyday. End result? 
WABC has the necessary entertain- 
ment elements to attract an enormous 
audience and then holds that audience 
while delivering outstanding news, 
award-winning documentaries, pio- 
neering educational programs and 
public service with a punch. 

l et's sec how it fits together. Since 
we are the American Broadcasting 
Company our deejays, of course, are 
the All Americans — a team of air 
champions. Our All American music 
survey may wear out two adding 
m.ichines and a slide rule each week 
but when it's finished we'll stand be- 
hind il for accuracy. American's 
"Challenge" documentaries and fron- 
tier Ciliicitional shows don't come out 
of our imagination. We probe, poke 
and beat the bushes in the New York. 
New Jersey and Connecticut com- 
munities we serve to dig up the un- 
derlving problems and need of our 
listeners. 

Listener Response 

Our listeners make programming 
this 50-kw network flagship a sheer 
delight They never stop surprising us. 
I arrangcil storage space for 500 
paintings for our Mona Lisa listener 
art competition earlier this year — 
' 1 .non pictures came in— 800 of them 
half the si/e of a basketball court. 
In lift:. WABC counted 3 million 
ballots in our Principal of the Year 
elections. This year our people de- 
luged us with over 60 million ballots. 

American Radio creates projects 
like these, acting for government 
agencies and civic groups much in 
the manner of an advertising agency. 
They come to us with their problems 
and. too often, with dull spot an-

nouncements that simply do noi lake 
advantage of radio's ability to get re- 
sults. This month, for example. 
WABC lurncd the radio concept of 
audience participation giveaways in- 
to a powerful weapon for New York 
City's Inter-Agency Slay in School 
committee. Forty per cent of the na- 
tion's students drop out of school to 
form an unskilled pool of unemployed 
drifters who each earn $40,000 less 
in a lifetime than graduates. WABC 
is dramatizing this fact hy registering 
all returning students for a crack at 
WABC School Bonus Money — $20 
prizes representing the extra kind of 
money high school graduates earn 
every week that dropouts don't gel. 

WABC listeners hear the news five 
minutes sooner — ABC Network News 
at five minutes before each hour and 
WABC Local News at five minutes 
before the half hour. WABC draws 
on two news staffs — local and neiwork 
— with all the advantages of ABC's 
worldwide system of correspondents, 
radio and television. Sportcasls and 
play-by-play sports round out the pro- 
gramming. But it is all held together 
by the framework of American Radio 
in New York and careful programming 
of the hit music of today, yesterday 
tomorrow. 

Programming a Network- 
Owned Station 

By William H. Schwort 
Progrom Manoger. WN6C Radio 

The programming of 
a network-owned radio 
station does not differ 
greatly from the pro- 
gramming of a network 
affiliate, except that 
perhaps the network- 
owned stations carry 
more of the network 
programs than do some 
Local programming must, 
he geared to an audience 
similar to that which the network 
programming is designed to reach. 

The network-owned stations gen- 
erally are the prestige stations in their 
markets and the wise program man- 
ager takes advantage of this fact. This 
places emphasis upon the responsibili- 
ties of the station program manager, 
since within the framework of the 
station-network image, he must be as 
creative and as imaginative as any 
other program manager. He cannot 
in any sense abdicate to the network 
the responsibility for programming the 
station. By its very nature, the net- 
work is concerned primarily, if not 
solely, with programming that has 
broad national appeal. To this must 
he added programming elements with 
strong local appeal. These elements 
mav run the gamut from news and 
public service features (such as traf- 
fic reports) to entertainment which 
is designed to be of unique appeal in 
Ihe station's market 

Diversified Progranimine 
Because of the diversity of pro- 

April II. 1964 • Billboard 1964 Radio Progn 




gramming supplied by the network, 
typical so-called "formula" program- 
ming of music is not generally success- 
ful (there are some notable exceptions). 
Particularly where Ihe competition is 
keen, the "formula" approach can be 
done much more effectively by in- 
dependents, who can gear their entire 
program schedule to the demands of 
the format. 

Therefore, the strength of on-the-air 
personalities is probably more impor- 
tant to network-owned stations than to 
independents — particularly "formula" 
independents where the purity of the 
music formal would seem to he the 
primary reason for listening. 

Despite the foregoing, the basic 
principals of good programming apply 
equally to network-owned stations and 
independents. The audiences we try to 
reach are probably different. It is 
simply a matter of applying Ihe princi- 
pals in such a manner as to attract 
Ihe audience you are after. 

A New Concept in 
Educational Programming 

By Jack Thoyor 
Vio.Prtt and Gsn. Mgr., WHK. Cleveland 

Over ISO years ago, Thomas Jef- 
ferson said: "If the nation expects 
to be ignorant and free in a state of 
civilization, it expects what never was 
and never w ill be." This comment was 
designed to underline the importance 
of education in Jefferson's day. yet. 
it seems even more appropriate in 
today"s far more complex world. 

WHK believes that radio can be an 
emotional force in Ihe creation of 
desirable attitudes in our listeners. 
These listeners, both students and 
parents, must be shown the importance 
of education and training necessary 
for the responsible citizen of tomor- 
row's automated future. WHK's 
" Highlights on Education." in an ef- 
fort to give educational broadcasting 
Ihe renewed vigor necessary to capture 
the radio audience in a competitive 
Mght-station market, used "timeliness" 
as an essential in Ihe presentation of 
educational material. 

Three Objectives 

The program has three major ob- 
jectives; First, to approach education 
as a commodity — to sell it to Ihe 
listeners; second, to convince the pub- 
lic that advanced education in all fields 
is readily available right here in 
Northeastern Ohio and give the col- 
leges an opportunity to tell their 
school story; third, to appeal lo Ihe 
students on their interest level and 
lo their psychological and emotional 
sensitivity — to create a desire for edu- 
cation and. more important, lo moti- 
vate them. 

To reach these three objectives in 
our educational programming, we are 
aware that all continuity must be 
within Ihe framework of modern 
showmanship. Thus, we have com- 
bined basic educational truths with 
current events and outstanding per- 

Gutde 



sonalilies. As a result of this philoso- 
phy. James Lowe. WHK education 
director, has created and produced 
educational shows that informative, 
slimulaling and entertaining. 

Lxamples of these shows include 
comedian Dick Gregory interviewed 
by dr.ima students from Western Re- 
serve University on comedy techniques 
and presentation and Ihe history of 
topical humor in America, while a 
professor in residence at Antioch Col- 
lege. TV's Rod Serling. creator of 
"The Twilight Zone."" shared an actual 
classroom experience and his personal 
philosophy on the need for higher 
education; pianist Peter Nero pre- 
sented a musical chronology of '"Bach 
to Nero." This past year Cleveland 
played host to the first Space Science 
Fair ever held in this country. It was 
co-sponsored hy NASA and The 
Cleveland Plain Dealer. During its 
presenlalion. "Highlights on Educa- 
tion" featured science and space for 
nine separate shows. Guests included 
Mr. Manganello. deputy director of 
the NASA-Louis Research Labora- 
tory; 1. Irving Pinkel. among others, 
who explained the reason for the space 
fair, its conception and execution, and 
Ihe importance of education for the 
space age. 

Qui of Studio 

This fall WHK's "Highlights on 
Education ' wenl to Hiram. Ohio, the 
training ground of the Cleveland 
Browns of Ihe national professional 
foolball league. Interview were held 
with head coach Blaton Collier, 
who has his Masters Degree and was 
working on his Doctorate when he 
left Kentucky University; Frank Ryan, 
Browns' quarterback, who was only 
nine hours away from his Doctorate 
degree in mathematics at Rice; Jim 
Brown, history-making fullback, who 
received his degree from Syracuse 
University; Vince Costello with a 
Masters Degree. The on-sighi program 
concluded by talking to the young, 
successful Cleveland Browns' presi- 
dent. Art Modell, who told of his 
education being a key factor in his 
success, both in foolball and in busi- 
ness. The object of the series was to 
point out that today's professional 
foolball players are college graduates 
and arc aware of the necessity of 
higher education when their athletic 
career ends. 

Why this effort in educational pro- 
gramming? Why not subscribe to any 
one of the many services available to 
broadcasters'.' WHK feels it is our 
responsibility as broadcasters to be- 
come an integral and motivating force 
in the community in which we serve. 
With this educational program, WHK 
is providing institutions of North- 
eastern Ohio areas an opportunity lo 
give our citizens an insight into edu- 
cation. What is needed, what is being 
done and what the future will de- 
mand. Techniques, practices and phi- 
losophies of education are explored in 
depth. The rewards are many.

Mulk OirKlor. WMCA. N«w Yeik 



It's inevitable, I 
suppose, that my 22 
scars as a musician and 
• in radio have taken me 

W into a good mans sta- 
■^J^V linn music libraries. 
I^^^r I'se wandered through 
B KBji the typical dusty old 
^ basement caverns where 

ciery was cylinder and recording ever 
turned out is filed — and forgotten 
You can run across stacks of Cjlenn 
Miller 78 5 so old and warped that 
they couldn't safely be spun on the 
best turntable— even if there were 
audience demand for them. 

I've also seen my share of record 
roomlets m damp .licoves overlooking 
alleys or back parking lots, and libra- 
ries so small that the station's plavlisi 
IS restricted to a handlul of tunes' by 
sheer limitations of storage space 

And I sc seen my quota of "social 
center" record libraries: cheers', noisy 
areas, where DJ's congregate to flirt 
with secretaries, wolf down ham-and- 
cheese confections, and where record 
pluggers settle down for prolonged 
use of the only telephone at their 
"office away from home." 

Now at \\ MCA. in my own Music 
1-ibrary. we aren't anii-svcrctarv and 
we have nothing against keepiiig the 
corner delicatessen in business. But 
we happily claim the distinction of 
being a work center, not a social nook 
Our Music Library is an office — not 
like an insurance broker's, perhaps, 
but a serious operations area, none- 
theless. We enjoy ample storage space. 



but not so much that we're tempted 
to hoard old disks or hang on to new 
ones that don't measure up to 
WMC'A's air standards just to keep the 
cabinets looking full. 

Wc have all the equipment we need 
to audition the more than 300 rec- 
ords we receive each week. But we're 
a Music Library, not a hi-fi shop, and 
so there is no place for elaborate gadg- 
ets or stereo speakers. 

I don't mean to suggest that drudg- 
ery is the tunc we whistle while we 
work. The whistling in our Music 
Library is done by Program Director 
Ruth Meyers pet alto canary. 
"Scooter." Not only does this lucky 
bird (named affectionately in honor 
of our nighttime star. B Mitchel Reed) 
have a handsome cage stocked with 
the very finest of seed and liquid re- 
freshment — but "Scooter" also has full 
run o( our bright, airy main record 
room, the 1 3th Ikxir garden terrace 
overlooking bustling Madison Avenue, 
and our comfortable outer reception 
room He's one happy bird! 

.My assistant. Frank Costa, and I 
share "Scooter's" enthusiasm for our 
quarters But. perhaps not lor quite 
the same reasons. The facility is 
equipped with album bins so that 
key recording artists can be easily 
classified — and easily found Abundant 
space for "Male." "Female. " "Group" 
and "Instrumental" categories is also 
right at hand. Current singles are 
stored according to their rankings on 
WMCAs "(lOtKl Guy" survey — and 
are remembered once a week. 

Records that have scored major 
successes with our audience are, of 
course, filed for future use as WMCA 
"oldies" as "Reed Reactivated Flash- 
Kicks" or as ""tomorrow's memory 
melodies " Other disks find their way 
to churches, hospitals and chanties 
where thes go on entertaining people 
and cheering up radio listeners and 
music lovers. 

One copy of everything ever played 
on the station is held for a reasonable 
amount ol time Cutouts and out-of- 
print records arc carefully preserved 
in our Music Library 

Our headquarters is situated close 
by WMCAs on-the-air studios — a 
location that makes it especially easy 
to replace disks that our engineers 
(who regularly doublc<hcck usi have 
found to be scratched or warped. 

Naturally wc provide a stomping 
ground where PD Ruth Meyer can 
alternately prowl, growl and grin and 
work on our programming problems. 
WMCA's Music Library strikes a 
happv medium. I think, between an 
austere business office and an overly 
sociable MKial center. It's a lively 
place where there's no doubt about 
our real business — music! 

WIP's Record Library 
Filing System 

By G«fl Kalfmon 
R*cord Librarian. WIP. Philod«lp>iia 

The library of WIP. and most good 
pop music stations, is becoming more 



important these days. The records that 
conform to the music policy of the 
station are no longer cast out as their 
popularity dwindles, but rather have 
an important place in the library 
If they meet our approval, they're 
swept up in an uncomplicated, orderly 
system designed to make a place for 
every record, single or LP. 

As WIP record librarian, it's my 
job to "keep house," pull the ears of 
P<-"o"3'i'ics who misplace records, 
talk to promotion men and work 
closely with the station manager and 
program director in selecting the 
music to be featured 

WIP's celebrated music formula is 
a comfortable blend of the "quality 
hit record," the promising single and 
the tasty LP 

.Singles and LPs 

"Singles " are programmed from a 
(iiaster music sheet kept in the library 
rhe weekly stack of new releases is 
studied carefully and usually provides 
us with anywhere from 10 to 1 5 prom- 
ising singles each week These records 
are then added to the master list. At 
Ihe same time, overworked "singles" 
are rerrioved from the list. If the 
"singles" being removed are worthy 
and well remembered as big sellers or 
"turntable hits." we formally catalog 
and file them If a record has no 
measure of success, we gracefully file 
it with the score of unplayable' ma- 
terial that eventually finds its way to 
charitable organizations 

"LPs" are classified in six cate- 
gories in the WtP library system. (I) 
New. (2) Regular Play, (3) Catalog 
f4) Production. (51 Comedy. (6) Holi- 
dav and Religious 

"New LPs" are selected on Ihe basis 
of good sales potential, performance 
value and conformity to our music 
policy These "LPs" are made avail- 
able to all personalities for plav at 
any time Each personality has the 
responsibility of checking music sheets 
from preceding shows to make sure 
album cuts are not repeated. We en- 
courage the personality to expose 
these new items frequeiilly 

Rrf>ular Play: These are good quali- 
ty, standard performances accumu- 
lated over three to four vear period. 
"LPs" from the "New" file eventually 
move into the "regular play" file. 
Needless to say "regular play" LPs are 
Ihe hulk of album material pro- 
grammed bv WIP Each personality is 
given an individual stack of approxi- 
mately one hundred "LPs" from the 
"regular play" file to feature on his 
show over a period of a week. At Ihe 
end of each week, the personality 
swaps stacks In this way. duplication 
or over-emphasis of older material, 
or certain "heavy favorite" LPs is 
avoided 

Cataloc: For the most part, this 
file contains duplicates of both "nesv" 
and "regular play" LPs These are 
filed in alphabetical order in headines 
— Male. Female. Group. Instrumental 
and Jazz.

"who,

The answers to any or all of these 
questions about Mark Century's new- 
est programming service is Festival 
Radio, a programming pageant. 

Festival Radio contains entertain- 
ment, drama, music (both production 
and commercial), sports, contests, 
commercials, and comedy. And each 
Festival segment is a complete unit 
that plays and pays for itself in enter- 
tainment and sponsorship. And much, 
much more. 

Any one ol these segments can be 
joined to another, to put together a 
show of virtually any desired length. 
Right now, it's Festival time... for 
your station.

MILLION SELLERS-S/ng/es 



BILLBOARD 73 



Following is a list of all singles 
which have sold one million or 
more copies in the United States as 
of the end of September 1963, 
according to the record manufac- 
turers, listings are arranged in ol- 
phabetical sequence, according to 
artists, and show label and year 
each became a million seller. Flip 
sides are listed in instances where 
they ore felt to have contributed 
strongly to the sole. 

None of these listings can be 
verified by Billboard, but in the 
absence of any absolute auditing 
procedure, it is felt that this is the 
most occurate list that can be com- 
piled. 

Some manufacturers, which are 
members of the Record Industry 
Association of America, do hove 
audited verification of their soles. 
Some other manufacturers which 
ore not RIAA members have 
availed themselves of RIAA audit- 
ing verificotion. All records so au- 
thenticated by RIAA OS audited 
million sellers ore designated by an 
osterisk (*). This is not intended as 
any reflection on disks not so 
marked, but merely indicates those 
records which ore certified million 
sellers by actual audit.

Programs for Youth 

WRCV radio and Iclcvision. the 
NBC-owned slations in Philadelphia, 
received honors when they were 
named State winners of the "Golden 
Mike Awards" in the annual American 
Legion Auxiliary competition for pro- 
gramming "in the interest of youth." 
WRCV radio was honored for Ihe 
"High School Highlights" series on 
teen-age school activities. The TV out- 
let was cited for its "Gateways to 
Careers" series on young people's job 
opportunities, presented in co-opera- 
tion with the Americans for Competi- 
tive Enterprise System. 

"Gateways to Careers" was an II- 
program series designed to acquaint 
young people with various career op- 
portunities in local business and indus- 
try. A portion of the program showed 
a tour of a local business or industry 
by a group of high school students, 
followed by an in-sludio discussion 
with company executives on the op- 
portunitv for a career in thai specific 
field. 

"High School Highlights." spon- 
sored hy Blue Cross, spotlighted activ- 
ities of area public, parochial and pri- 
vate high schools, with football stars, 
coaches and prominent local leaders 
as guests. 

United Fund in D. C. 

In addition to a heavy schedule of 
spot announcements (which included 
every station break on the hour and 
half hour). WWDC (Washington. 
D. C.) made available its Satellite 
Studio for daily orginations during 
October from leading shopping cen- 
ters. WWDC deejays originated many 
of their programs from the studio. 
There were daily interviews with 



various UGF officials, and the station 
as sponsor of the Miss Washington 
Contest, arranged to have Miss Wash- 
ington appear at Ihe Kick-Off Rally 
for Government Employees at Con- 
stitution Hall, and also at the Down- 
town Businessmen's Rally. 

Apple a Day 

If an apple a day keeps the doctor 
away, some of Chicago-land's lucky 
teachers should be the healthiest folks 
in town. WLS. in co-operation with 
192 Chicago A & P stores, gave away 
two cases of apples per day to teachers 
nominated by their students. In the 
on-the-spot promotion. WLS invited 
students to describe in 25 words or 
less why they appreciated their teach- 
ers. The "Teacher of the Day" wa.s 
saluted each day on the air. and re- 
ceived two cases of Washington fancy, 
delicious apples — enough for every- 
body in the class! 

Parade of Pennies 

WSIX radio (Nashville) was hon- 
ored by the American Legion for its 
"Parade of Pennies" drive to obtain 
funds to assist the local American Le- 
gion Post to purchase Christmas items 
for Ihe Post's Annual Christmas Party 
for Underprivileged Children . . . 
about 1.500 children in all. 

For Students Only 

WERE radio (Cleveland) for the 
past 10 years has been providing a 
five-niinule daily news show to high 
school students throughout the city. 
The broadcasts are fed via land line 
to WBOE (Board of Education sta- 
tion), which, in turn, rebroadcasis the 
newscasts on closed circuit to all high 
schools.

Production: "LPs" needed for pro- 
duction of spoLs. specials, etc.. are 
kept in this file in alphabetical order. 

Comedy: "Comedy LPs are filed in 
alphabetical order 

Holiday and Religious: These "LPs" 
arc filed under imporiani national and 
religious holiday groupings. 

How a personality makes up his 
show: The personality is obliged, by 
management, to take a minimum of 
one hour to make up a three hour 
show. He selects his "singles" from 
ihe master single list and "LPs" from 
his individual file in the "new" LP 
file. Before making his selection, he 
double checks the show preceding his 
to clear "new" LP material. 

The personality then makes up his 
show listing each record in order on 
a music sheet as it will be played on 
the air. He makes three copies of 
his music sheet — one for the program 
director, one for Ihe library file and 
one for himself. He takes his "LPs" 
with him to the studio. On the console, 
is a box containing all the "singles" 
which correspond by number with the 
master sheet in the library. This box 
is made up each week to conform with 
the new master music list. 

These are the important funda- 
mentals in WIP's record library file 
system. We feel the system is a good 
one and simple enough for one person 
to supervise. Of course, the co-opera- 
tion of Ihe personality who handles the 
records is a necessary element in 
keeping our house clean. 

Research, Goals, 
Professionalism 

By Mark Olds 
Cenarol Monoger, WINS. New York 

At no time, it seems, 
has there been so much 
talk about the impor- 
tance of the product . . . 
1^- I the programming of the 
radio station. At no 

time have trained, able 

M programmers been as 
^™ hard to find. Why? 
Simple ... the business gets more 
competitive every day. Gone are the 
davs when a smart young feller could 
waltz into a good-sized town and 
grab off half of the available audience 
in a matter of weeks. By now, almost 
everybody in radio is conversant with 
most of the techniques used success- 
fullv elsewhere . . . and is far more 
sophisticated in approaching his own 
station problems. 

In fact, this sophistication has led 
to an interesting stratification of radio. 
In the old days (like 19561). we used 
to talk about net stations, indies, and 
specialisu. Today, we split the spec- 
trum into something like this: Talk.

Network, Good Music. Middlc-of-the- 
Road Pop, Swinging Middlc-of-the- 
Road, Formula, Top-40 . , . and, 
of course, the specialists: Foreign Lan- 
guage, Symphonic, Jazz, Gospel, 
Sing-Along, Folk Music, and Ethnic. 
If we keep this up. small wonder if 
the programmer won't wind up know- 
ing more and more ahout less and less, 
until he's programming for himself, 
the boss, and six close friends! 

Well, then, is there an answer , . . 
a guide to the perplexed ... in going 
after the desired audience? You bet 
there is. and it goes something like 
this: 

RE.SEARCH: 

What does my projected audience 
want and need: what will make 
them listen to me? 

GOALS: 

What can be logically and rea- 
sonably expected in this market 
— in rating position, audience 
composition, prestige and in- 
come? 

PROFESSIONALISM: 

Whatever we decide to do, are 
we doing it as real professionals, 
with style, craftsmanship and 
creativity? 



At WINS, in the country's largest, 
and one of its most competitive mar- 
kets, we try to apply this approach of 
research, setting of goals and pro- 
fessional performance. We looked 
into this area and weighed many fac- 
tors, including the history of the vari- 
ous stations, the changing composition 
of the audience, short and long-range 
trends in everything from buying hab- 
its to working hours. We decided that 
the best potential lay in long-term 
"growth" investment ... in the 
younger people, from late teens to 
late 30's, who are a huge percentage 
of the 17,000,000 people in the area 
now and will be for many, many 
years. 

We decided that a broadly based

IN CIRCULATION 
IN REPUTATION 
IN PENETRATION 

No other music-trade publication gives its advertisers the global exposure, strength 
of editorial backing and proof of circulation claims that Billboard offers. 

The nearly 70 years of international respect for Billboard's quality of journalism, 
scientific methods of research and high standards of business practice provide 
advertisers with an unmatchabic setting of prestige for their message. 

With a world-wide circulation twice that of any other music-trade publication, 
only Rlllboird offers advertisers incontrovertible proof of circulation figures by 
opening its files twice every year for audit by the rigid and exacting Audit Bureau 
of Circulations (ABC). 

Their reports detail for every Billboard advertiser just where his message goes 
throughout the world . . who receives it and how many receive it.

Focus on Deejay 

• Cfmttnurd Irom paar 12 

from Knox College in Galcsburg, 
111., returning to that city in I"*!? 
after a stmt at Chicago's Kent 
Law School. The prospect of 
building his own radio station 
was the enticement to give up a 
law career and at 2 I he became 
Ihc youngest statii^n owner in the 
country Howard sold the sta- 
tion to join the Navy and World 
War II and after three years in 
the Pacific, returned to resume 
his radio career in C hicago 

.Start With WIND 

Assuming the post of program 
director, he began at that time 
his long, continuous relationship 
with WIND By 1449. anxious 
to get back on the air again, 
he deserted management for the 
talent department, extending bis 
activities to free-lancing on other 
stations. Eventually, he was do- 
ing 115 shows a week on WIND 
and five other sutions in the 
days before taping. At one lime 
he finished a show for WIND 
at 5:45 p.m. and began another 
that minute on WCFL. 

This trick was accomplished 
by WC FL's rigging of a portable 
studio, just outside the WIND 
Wnglcy Building location. Dur- 
ing the .^0-second station break, 
Howard raced from one to the 
other. 

Nationwide exposure was giv- 
en Miller's talents via a CBS net- 
work radio program from l')55 
to 1959. The next five years he 
doubled in the \isnal medium for 



NBC, locally and oo Ihc net- 
work. 

Since 1950. Miller has been 
WIND'S morning man and his 
popularity has remained unchal- 
lenged One reason for his great 
appeal is. undoubtedly, his un- 
erring taste in popular music 
Through the years he has dem- 
onstratesJ an almost mystical 
ability to anticipate musical taste 
. . . and much of his compe- 
tition. 

Tlw Miller Appeal 

Currently his music reflects 
the booming popularity of folk 
muitc with enough country - 
western to indicate this music 
is fast finding favor with the 
great mass audience. An expert 
on morning-type music, he 
places plenty of emphasis on 
bright, new modem versions of 
old standards. 

Any examination into the ap- 
peal of Howard Miller as a disk 
)ockey must eventually acknowl- 
edge his ability to simply and 
sincerely talk to people. An un- 
relenting commentary, ranging 
from headlines to the frivolous, 
is positively projected and listen- 
en. whether adherents or non- 
believers, stay tuned in. 

After IS years. Chicago radio 
wouldn't be the same without 
Howard Miller. But with his 
popularity at an all-time peak, 
there's little chance that this 
highly professional practitioner 
will ever stray from his WIND 
di.il selling

Mail, Then Stores 
For Pentron Set 



CHICAGO — A direct-mail 
campaign to 30 million homes 
will introduce Pentron Elec- 
tronics' new Pentron President 
tape recorder before it appears 
in retail stores. 

The first mailing will be by 
Diners' Club, but "many major 
mailing companies" eventualK 
will be involved in the S2.4 
million campaign, according to 
Albert E. Sloan, president of 
Whitney - Forbes Inc., direct 
mail consultants. Pentron chair- 
man Osborn Andreas said he 
expected the mailing to help 
build word-of-mouth demand 
for the recorders when they ap- 



pear in stores, probably in about 
six months. 

The new stereo recorder is 
fully transistorized and features 
a "voice actuating" circuit which 
starts and stops it automatically. 
It's priced at $199.95.

EQUIPMENT NEWSLETTER 



A Program for More Recorder Sales 



Bj DAVID LACHENBRLCH 

Rx FOR RECORDERS: If you ve been follow- 
ing our scries of articles on the results of the 
recent Gordon Jones-Billboard survey of tape 
recorder retailers (the last of 
^^p^^ which IS in this issue), you've 
seen a pretty complete diagnosis 
I 1 of that field's ills from the 

fU^ standpoint of the dealer. (In 

\1. ^^se you missed the series, a 

if-' . w complete tabulation is available 
from Billboard's Record Market 
^KSjL Research division.) 

Perhaps "ills" is too strong a 
wgrd. The recorder field isn't sickly — it's just not 
growing strong and health\ as fast as it should, 
considering the almost fantastic utility and versa- 
tility of the modern recorder. 

The retailers surveyed are generally considered 
to be aggressive dealers who put some emphasis 
on recorders. They include record, appliance and 
photographic dealers. What they had to say 
about their problems, therefore, can be a valu- 
able clue for manufacturers and distributors of 
recorders and tape. 

As we interpret the results of the survey, several 
prime needs seem to stand out — at least from 
the dealer viewpoint. 

The biggest complaint was "discounting by 
others" and lack of price maintenance by manu- 
facturers. This gripe, however, isn't confined to 
recorders, but could apply across-the-board to 
almost any type of consumer hard goods. The 
comments, nevertheless, would appear to suggest 
that price stability is generally lacking in the 
recorder field— to put it mildly. That several 
major recorder lines are now instituting various 
programs to head off e.xcessive discounting is 
evidence that at least some manufacturers recog- 
nize the problem and are trying to do something 
about it. 

The dealer altitudes, as expressed in the survey 
returns, seem to suggest a positive program to 
fill the most pressing needs of tape recorder 
retailers. Here are some of the planks in the 
sell-more-recorders platform, as we see it; 

I. Familiarize the average consumer with the 
advantages and capabilities of recorders, this 
means advertising in consumer-oriented media, in 
addition lo the audiophile books. Stress should 
be placed on the "family fun and entertainment" 
aspects, rather than technical characteristics. 
Ideally, a co-ordinated industry-wide ad and 
public relations campaign for the concept of tape 
recording seems to be what's needed. This could 
be undertaken by an organization such as the 
Magnetic Recording Industry Association or Elec- 
tronic Industries Association. Unfortunatelv, com- 
peting manufacturers rarely can agree on what 
to put into such a campaign (in terms of both 



ideas and money), and these drives often fall 
apart in one massive bicker. 

2. Educate the dealer and the dealer's sales- 
men. Retailers admitted that even they and their 
personnel were often unable to give adequate 
demonstrations of some tape recorders. One solu- 
tion would be for factory or distributor salesmen 
or reps actually to work on the floor of the store, 
first holding clinics for retail salesmen, then 
demonstrating the best selling techniques with 
actual customers. Manufacturers and distributors 
could learn plenty about their products this way. 
Many of them actually do this — but much more 
could be done. 

3. Make more selling aids available to the 
dealer. Special demonstration machines, built into 
attractive displays calling attention to the ma- 
chine's features (along with the dealer education 
mentioned above) could go a long way toward 
overcoming the hit-or-miss demonstration tech- 
niques employed today. 

4. Develop simpler recorders for non-audio- 
philcs. A quality machine needn't have so manv 
meters and knobs that it scares customers away. 
The TV set is the most complex device in the 
American household — yet it can usually be oper- 
ated with only two knobs. You no longer need 
to shift gears lo drive an automobile — but auto- 
mophiles can have "four on the floor " if they 
want it. How about a simple, high quality ma- 
chine for the non-audiophile who appreciates 
quality? 

5. Improve servicing programs. The service 
technician should have all possible assistance from 
the manufacturer. This can be expensive, but it's 
vital in maintaining good customer relations and 
good dealer relations. Obviously, so is good 
quality control, lo eliminate as many service calls 
as possible. 

6. Make the customer happy with his purchase. 
One method suggested by several survev respond- 
ents IS to include a special pre-recorded tape 
with the machine. This could explain the features 
of the recorder (along with a good instruction 
book, demonstrate stereo effects and include sev- 
eral selections from high-qualiiy pre-recorded 
tapes. At the very least, an understandable easy- 
to-follow and complete instruction manual should 
fo with the recorder. In the case of imports, it"s 
preferable to have the book written in the U S - 
type English. 

These are a few points which seem obvious 
from perusal of the survey replies. Other dealer 
gripes are far tougher to cope with. Examples- 
I oo many models, prices too high, too much time 
nt.eded for demonstrations. 

Some day tape recorders will come into their 
own as mass-appeal instruments-wither in reel- 
lo-reel or cartridge format. Before this can hap- 
pen, however, there must be a serious attempt 
to sell tape recorders to the primary sales target— 
the average American.

Pre-Recorded Tapes' High Cost 
Seen Biggest Barrier to Success 



r7"/ii.r is the last in a series of four reports on 
inerchandisinn of tape and tape recorders, based 
on a nationwide retailer survey earlier this year 
hy Gordon Jones of the Wharton School of Busi- 
ness. University of Pennsylvania, in co-operation 
tviih the Record Market Research division of 
Billboard.) 

Wtial's wrong witti llie pre-recorded tape mar- 
ket? In itie minds of dealers, itiere's absolutely 
no question — prices are too liigti Asked to name 
Itie major problem areas in pre-recorded tape, 
some 75 per cent of the retailers responding to 
the Gordon Jones-Billboard dealer survey singled 
out high price. 

Despite the general feeling that prices are too 
high. per cent of the tape recorder dealers 
surveyed indicated that they also sold pre- 
recorded tape. In 89 per cent of the locations 
where pre-recorded tape was handled, dealers 
said the same buyer made all decisions on both 
pre-recorded tape and tape recorders. 

Best Selling Labels 
Columbia was selected as the best selling pre- 
recorded tape line hy 49 per cent of the 
respondents. Other labels mentioned, in order of 
frequency, were London (picked by 15 per cent 
as the best seller). Capitol (13 per cent). RCA 
Victor I 10 per cent). Bel Canio (.1 per cent). UST 
(.1 per cent). Command (3 per cent). 

Only 7 per cent of the stores responding indi- 
cated that they maintained tape rental libraries. 
Of those with libraries, the largest percenuge — 
43 per cent — indicated that the purpose of the 
library was "profit." while 29 per cent said they 
maintained their rental libraries for "customer 
convenience." 

Blank Tape 

As to best selling brands of blank tape. 63 
per cent named Scotch; Reeves Soundcraft was 
named by 6 per cent; .Ampe.\ and Audiotape by 4 
per cent each. Asked to name their second tiest 
selling brands. 28 per cent picked Scotch; 14 per 
cent. Ampex; 12 per cent. Audiotape; 9 per cent. 
Reeves Soundcraft; 7 per cent, Ferrograph. and 
4 per cent. Kodak 

Although high price was singled out by three 
dealers out of evei^- four as a problem area, 
there were other gripes; "No playing lime men- 
tioned" and "short reels ' by 12 per cent; "limited 
selection available." also by 12 per cent; "low 
turnover" by 8 per cent: unavailability of mono- 



phonic tapes by 8 per cent. Other complaints, 
each made by atioul 4 per cent of responding 
dealers: Customer ignorance in using four-lracl^ 
tape; erratic quality; pilferage: complicated load- 
ing; customers can't listen to sealed tape packages. 
Here are .some sample individual comments: 
"Although many people are buying monaural 
recorders, pre-recorded tape for them is practi- 
cally extinct. In my estimation, a low-priced 
monaural tape would fill a definite need. The 
price factor on pre-recorded tape, even when dis- 
counted. IS prohibitive. People can buy three or 
four stereo records at a discount for at)out $10. 
tut they're lucky to be able to get two tapes 
for the price." 

"Pre-recorded tape's main problem is the price 
factor. This is why we resort to cheaper re- 
hashed recordings. The average person cannot 
understand why tape recorders should he so 
much higher priced than record players — and 
why buy tape recordings when you can tape off 
the air? " 

"Most of our customers who buy stereo tape 
recorders quickly end up buying blank tape only. 
The six-dollar price ticket on a four-track stereo 
tape doesn't appeal to most. All year long pre- 
re.-ordcd tape sales are at a literal standstill, 
except for C^hnsiinas and the January follow-up." 
Suggestions for Manufacturers 

What can manufacturers do to help the sale 
of pre-recorded tapes? Here arc some sample 
quotations from retailers: 

"Put on the market a monaural tape which is 
recorded both ways, giving two-track but lowering 
the price so people can buy (it) at same price as 
records. .Also gel stores like mine, which are not 
in the tape field, to put in same on a 100 per cent 
guarantee trial with some sort of tape set-up." 

"Perhaps a consignment package (of pre-re- 
corded tapes) would encourage more dealers to 
participate and gain wider exposure." 

"Settle down to one method of recording 
instead of going Iwth cartridge and reel-to-reel 
simultaneously."' 

"IDevote more (advertising space to 'music 
sounds best on tape' and "tape lasts so much 
longer." ""

Ellington Conquers New Areas 



Conimueii from ptiQe 10 



And, what was new, was de- 
lightful Ellington. 

Largely, that was a collec- 
tion of seemingly disconnected 
songs, due to become a suite 
tentatively tilled "Impressions 
of the Far East," obviously a 
musical recounting of the band's

latest State Department tour. 
As it stands now, there are five 
sections. The first begins with 
familiar Ellington orchestral 
sounds, goes into a Lawrence 
Brown ("Caravan," "Keblah," 
"The Sphinx") solo and into a 
swinging ending. Harry Carney 
booms his way through an- 
other part. Jimmy Hamilton has 
a third, within and without the 
orchestra with a final, quiet, 
almost fey, countdown and out. 
Then there is a delightful kind 
of dance, meant to be Broad- 
way choreographed, wiih the 
sections sounding as if Duke 
had told the late John Kirby 
how to write for the Ellington 
orchestra. The final of what has 
so far been written is for 
Johnny Hodges and titled "Is- 
fahan."" It must be a beautiful 
place. 

For the rest of the concert, 
there was a startling Rolf Eric- 
son on "Perdido." and a beauti- 
ful, breathy solo by Paul Cion- 
salves on "A Very Happy Re- 
union." followed by a silly up- 
tempo blues. 

Cootie Williams wrote a kind 
of screamer called "The Open- 
er." a wild blues and a magnifi- 
cent ""Caravan. " Among the 
strong side lines were (Cat) An- 
derson"s ""Prowling Cat. " bassist 
Major Holly on " Satin Doll " and 
the usual version of ""Pretty and 
the Wolf. " And. even stronger, 
was '"Skillpoop."" a marvelous 
musical spoof, ihe title of which 



Ellington explained is like Ihe 
verb "to jive," or, as he put it, 
"making what you are doing 
look better than what you are 
supposed to be doing. " 

But, for Ellington people in 
general, the reading of the 
evening was under the special 
light of "Tone Parallel to 
Harlem."" as engrossing a tone 
picture as of its writing 10 
years ago. But it has never been 
played so well before. The 
pictures are now stronger, but, 
more importantly than that, so 
is the love and the protest that 
were always there. It was sug- 
gested in liuke s introduction of 
the composition. Ii was blasted 
into conscious orbit hy Elling- 
ton's conducting of Ellington's 
strong, conscience-wise orches- 
tra. 

May he and they ever come 
on in such manner.

undistinguished and loud; the 
hangings have seen belter days 
and the lighting is unimagina- 
tive. One has the impression of 
an extravagantly plumed bird in 
a cage — not gilded. 

The fault Is not solely with 
the production. Miss Baker has 
a tendency to play down to the 
audience, lo be a bit too pre- 
cious at limes, to call too much 
attention lo the fact that she is 
60 and is still in possession of a 
lovely figure. Much of the cule-

Drake Ducks 

• CiinUnut:J fr.nn pat,,- /Q 



"1 Can Get It for You Whole- 
sale," it was her subsequent 
work on records, night clubs and 
guest appearances on TV that 
built her reputation and solidi- 
fied her position as a hot box- 
office attraction. 

There are also similar exam- 
ples in "Anyone Can Whistle,"" 
which opened last Saturday (4) 
and the incoming "Fade In, 
Fade Out. "Whistle" has co- 
starred Angela Lansbury and 
Lee Remick, both of whose 
reputations were established via 
film work, and ""Fade In. Fade 
Out."' has Carol Burnett. Al- 
though Miss Burnett did a pre- 
vious musical. "Once Upon a 
Mattress,"' it's primarily through 
her work as a principal on 
Garry Moore's TV show and as 
a guest star on TV variety 
shows that her reputation as 
one of the top comediennes of 
the day developed. 

In addition to the performing 
newcomers, Drake also points 
out that new writing names are 
also coming into the theater. 
This season alone, there are 
Timothy Grey, who collaborated 
with veteran writer Hugh Mar- 
tin on "High Spirits." scheduled 
to open on Broadway Tuesday 
(7). and Marty Brill, who is col- 
laborating with Albert Hague 
on "Cafe Crown." due to open 
next month. Also, says Drake, 
new producers are coming into 
the Broadway musical field. 
Among them are Joe Cates with 
"What Makes Sammy Run?": 
Ray Stark with "Funny Girl." 
and Caroline Swann and Mar- 
tin Lee (in conjunction with 
Philip Rose) with " Cafe Crown," 
Meantime, Drake is also roll- 
ing at a hot pace on records 
with tunes from his "Sammy" 
score. In addition to the origi- 
nal Broadway cast album on 
Columbia, Barbara Carroll has 
an album on Warner Bros., and 
Clark Terry has an LP on 20th 
Century-Fox. On the singles 
level. Drake counts up 10 sides, 
including two hy Steve Law- 
rence and two by Eydie Gorme 
(Mrs. Lawrence), and there are 
more in the offing. 



uell with a foreign audience 
(Americans are charmed by en- 
dearments spoken in broken- 
English), but from one American 
to another. . . . But when she 
sings, and moves and poses, she 
is still the very stylish Josephine 
Baker wtio has made entertain- 
ment history for almost 40 years. 

Carmen de Lavallade and 
Geoffrey Holder supply part of 
the dancing on the program. 
Together they create sparks; 
separately they are choreogra- 
phically uninspired. The Aviv 
Dancers, a folk group, arc a 
rather incongruous insertion in 
this otherwise sophisticated 
program. JOHN HAYS

WiHiams Soccer Game 
Allows 3-Way Scoring 




SOCCER 

CHICAGO— Williams' new 
Soccer single player pinball game 
enables players to score replays 
by each of three ways: High 
score, total goals scored, and hit- 
ting a boltom rollover when lit 
(after scoring a certain number 
of goals). 

Purpose of Soccer is to score 
goals against the opposing teams. 
Player picks his team b\ going 



through either a red or Hue top 
rollover. After that, ho attempts 
to shoot each successive ball 
through the same rollover in or- 
der to retain "povsevsion" of Ihe 
ball. 

The position of the soccer ball 
IS dclcrmincd by a light on the 
playficld. Players can advance 
the ball one step by hilling the 
proper thumper bumpers. Mov- 
ing the ball across the field 
scores a goal. 

Cioals arc also scored by hit- 
ting one of two eject pockets 
on Ihe playfield. 

Score is advanced by moving 
the soccer ball across the field 
(each step counu 10 points), by 
hitting goals (100 points) or by 
hitting one of several targets 
.iround the playfield. 

Soccer is an exceptionally 
high-scoring game for a single 
player model. It is the first sin- 
gle player in Williams' history 
to have four reel scoring. 

Other Soccer features include 
three or five-ball play, new 
motor unit, new coin switch, 
new latch-lock playfield. and 
modernized cabinel. Shipments 
are expected lo begin this week. 



Ski'N Skore Attracts 
Schuss Boomer Set 




Joe Lyon. DuKane product 
manager, said the company has 
been testing ihe unit for several 
months, primarily in Eastern ski 
resort areas. He said results are 
excellent, particularly at the 
.Andirons, a lodge near Ver- 
mont's Mount Snow. 

Lyon added that a water-ski 
version of the machine is due 
later this year. 



SKI N SKORE 

CHICAGO — Skiers can put 
on a pair of skis, push a button, 
grasp poles, and slalom down a 
tough cour%c. thanks to a new 
coin-operated Ski'N Skore de- 
vice developed bv DuKane Cor- 
poration. St. Charles. 111. 

The player (or skier, if you 
prefer) guides a miniature ski 
figure through a slalom course 
by himself shifting weight and 
manipulating poles. 

The body motions are iden- 
tical lo those used on a hill. 
Points are scored for gates hit 
or missed, and for speed of de- 
scent. 



Court affirmed a decision of 
July 22 by Judge Charles T. 
Wright of Thurston County 
Superior Court. 

The high court held thai the 
people, in presenting the sup- 
porting signatures, had done 
what was required by State law 
to put the measure on the 
ballot. 



Game Tax Return 
Declines in Wash. 

OL\ MPIA. Wash — Wash- 
ington State Tax Commission 
figures, released March 25, 
showed revenue of $945,393 in 
1963 on amusement device 
taxes, down nearly half from 
the $1.6 million collected the 
previous year. 

A commission spokesman said 
the decline was mostly the re- 
sult of a ban on pay-off pinball 
machines in Seattle at the 
beginning of last year. 

The State levies a tax of 20 
per cent of gross revenue from 
pinball machines and 40 per 
cent for other coin-operated 
amusement devices not involv- 
ing any element of skill. 

Donald R. Burrows, the com- 
mission's research supervisor, 
said Ihe lax take on amusement 
devices has slowly declined in 
recent years from a high of 
S5.3 million in 1950. as some 
counties lightened up on toler- 
ance policies. 

The tax returns could bounce 
back in Seattle, however, if 
newly elected Mayor J. D. Bra- 
man carries on his announced 
plans to return to the city's 
tolerance policy.

HOT SPRINGS. Ark — Coin 
machine operators were singing 
the blues here last week after

gambling casinos to close. 

The operators have no direct 
interest in gambling — but the 
exodus of the huge crowds dur- 
ing Ihe race track season, which 
IS the best of Ihe year, cut heav- 
ily into the profits. 

Some coin men reported col- 
lections dropped several hun- 
dred per cent The closing of the

almost like a ghosi town.

New Tonomot Model Market in Norway 



FRANKFURT — Tonomat. 
[he German subsidiary of Aulo- 
malic Canteen, reporls excep- 
ional sales response to its new 
rompact phonograph. Electronic. 

The new model has 160 se- 
ections, but the primary feature 
s the speed of record chang- 
ng. The record arm is placed 
parallel to the base and arms 
)n opposite sides lift the se- 
eded record into position as 
,oon as the scanning movement 
s completed. The disk thus goes 
direct to the arm which is 
nearest it. 

Tonomat says this quick 
changing appreciably boosts the 
operator's collections by crowd- 
ing more phonograph play into 
the operating day. Electronic 
competes with Wurlitzer's Ger- 
man-produced Lyric compact. 

Largest Game Sells 

HAMBURG— Th. Bergmann 
Company, a major European 
producer of diversified coin ma- 
chine equipment, reports that 
new target game. Safari, is 
bagging sales marks. 

It is a highly miniaturized 
electrical mirror game, start- 
ling for the realism achieved. 
Animals appear and vanish, 
constantly changing positions, 
through a built-in mixer system. 

Each animal has a small 
light in his head which serves 
as the target. Bergmann has 
emerged as a leading world 
coin game producer by success 
of its Arizona target game, 
which is one of the largest sell- 
ing target games produced any- 
where since the war. 



OSLO — A two-way race is 
developing in Norway between 
U. S. and West German man- 
ufacturers for supremacy in 
what looms as a lush phono- 
graph preserve. 

Norwegian marketing surveys 
indicate a medium term phono- 
graph market for 12,000 ma- 
chines, compared with the 
present 4,000 to 6,000 ma- 
chines, and a long-range market 
of upward of 30,000 machines. 

The surveys indicate there is 
great phonograph potential in 
the rural areas and in the far 
northern areas, where recrea- 
tional facilities are lacking. 

French Pinball Mach. 

NICE— Establissements Rally, 
the largest French coin games 
manufacturer, is mapping a big 
European Common Market sales 
program for its El Toro pinball. 

El Toro. which is billed as 
Europe's answer to the U. S. 
pinball, can be played by one 
or two persons. The score is 
posted automatically on an il- 
luminated board and is carried 
cumulatively, meaning that suc- 
cessive players try to beat the 
total posted by their prede- 
cessors. 

Production of about 100 ma- 
chines monthly is to be doubled 
in anticipation of strong Euro- 
pean demand. Rally's promo- 
tion of El Toro is expected to 
point the way to a Common 
Market format for general sales 
promotion by firms in the six 
Common Market countries. 



Coin Machine Fair Biggest Danish Op 



FRANKFURT — West Ger- 
many's coin machine industry 
hopes to sponsor an interna- 
tional coin machine fair in 
Frankfurt this year. 

The fair would serve as a 
showcase for Germany's boom- 
ing trade and would provide 
an international meeting ground 
for the world industry. It would 
parallel the Hanover industrial 
fair. 

West Germany has the Con- 
tinent's largest and most sophis- 
ticated coin machine industry 
and trade. However, there has 
long been grumbling within the 
ranks over the lack of an in- 
dustry showcase. There have 
been several attempts in recent 
years to stage such a fair, but 
these efforts have founded on 
intra-trade bickering. 

N. H. Lottery 
Sales Brisk 

CONCORD, N. H. — The 
nation's only lottery ticket vend- 
ing machine business, operated 
by the State of New Hampshire, 
is getting off to a good start. 

Automatic machines similar 
to those set up at Rockingham 
Park parl-mutuel race track in 
Salem recently have now been 
installed in most of the 49 State- 
owned liquor stores and will 
also be in operation later at the 
Hinsdale Raceway and the 
Rochester Fair harness racing 
track. 

The machines dispensed re- 
ceipts for 27,174 tickeU totaling 
$81,522 during their first 10 
days of operation at Rocking- 
ham Park. The actual tickets 
will be kept in a Manchester 
bank vault by the Sweepstakes 
Commission until the big public 
drawing at Rockingham in early 
September a few days before 
the $100.000-plus sweepstakes 
race. Prizes for the sweepsukes 
wmnen run as high ui 
$100,000. " 



COPENHAGEN — Dansk 
Grammofon Automat A-S has 
boosted its operating interests 
in Denmark to over 30 phono- 
graphs. 

This makes Dansk Grammo- 
fon the largest operator in Den- 
mark. In addition to the 300 
phonographs. Dansk Grammo- 
fon also operates about 100 
games. 

The firm is the Danish dis- 
tributor for Rock-Ola and is the 
EMI subsidiary in Denmark for 
phonograph records. It repre- 
sents an integrated music op- 
eration which has scored spec- 
tacular success. 

Far from representing a con- 
flict of interest, the firm's phono- 
graph operation has helped 
stabilize the operating field for 
smaller independent operators.

Belgian Tax Law Sets Model 
For European Coin Industry 



By OMER ANDERSON 

BRUSSELS— Union Beige de 
I'Automatiquc (U.S.A.), the 
Belgian coin machine trade as- 
sociation, is reminding manufac- 
turers and import-export con- 
cerns that all coin machines 
(phonographs and games) must 
be registered with the Ministry 
of Finance before the equipment 
may be operated in Belgium. 
Henri De Vroey is president of 
U.B.A. 

Such registration is provided 
in the Belgian law enacted De- 
cember 24, 1963. This law, con- 
sidered model legislation for the 
European coin machine trade, 
replaces local levies with uni- 
form national coin machine tax- 
ation. 

The law establishes a schedule 
of taxation based on the size of 
the community in which the 
equipment is located and on the 
type of equipment operated. 

Communities are grouped into 
three categories: over 1'30,000 
population; between ■5,000 and 
30,000, and under 5,000. Six 
categories of equipment are es- 
tablished: A, B. C, D. E and F. 
As yet, there have been no cri- 
teria announced for allotting 
categories. 

Equipment in the highest 
category (the equipment still lo 
be designated specifically) — 
Category A in a community of 
over 30,000— will be taxed 
15,000 francs per machine per 
year, and equipment in the low- 
est category (F in a community 
under 5,000) 300 francs per ma- 
chine per year. 

U.B.A., which represents the 
coin machine trade on a mixed 
commission in charge of ma- 
chine classification, is offering 
to effect registration on behalf 
of manufacturers and importers- 
exporters. 

U.B.A. said firms should send 
complete details on new ma- 
chines to the president of the 
Union Beige de I'Automatique, 
228 rue Theodore Verhaegen, 
Brussels 6. 

Equipment is classified by the 
mixed commission — a panel with 
three representatives of the Min- 
istry of Finance and three repre- 
sentatives of coin machine trade 
organizations: the U.B.A., cafes 
and traveling carnivals. 

This panel assigns each item 
of equipment a slot on the tax 
schedule, according to its tech- 
nical characteristics. Failure to 
have equipment classified results 
in the equipment automatically 
being placed in the highest lax 
bracket — 15,000 francs. 

The tax schedule: 

CATEGORIES A B 

Over 30,000 1 5,000 f. 1 0,000 f. 

5,000-30,000 1 0,000 f. 7,000 f. 

Under 5,000 5,000 f. 3,500 f. 




HENRI DE VROEY 

Into these six categories will 
be fitted the following items of 
equipment (according to a for- 
mula yet to be revealed in de- 
tail): phonographs, film phono- 
graphs, bingos, football, pinballs, 
shuffleboards, howlers, other 
games (two-hole billiards, etc.), 
strength tester, grab bag, shoot- 
ing galleries, kiddie rides, up- 
rights. 

Manufacturers and importers- 
exporters were asked to send full 
technical information, including 
illustrated material and dia- 
grams, lo the U.B.A.. concern- 
ing equipment submitted for 
classification. 

The December 24, 1963 law 
is being acclaimed as a milestone 
for the Continental trade. It 
wipes out the crazy quill of local 
tax statutes which frequently re- 
sulted in one item of equipment 
being taxed at double or triple 
the rate of a similar machine 
sited on the other side of a local 
boundary. 

Instead, the new law provides 
uniform taxation on a national 
basis. This means that manu- 
facturers, importers-exporters, 
distributors and operators can 
make long-range plans without 
risk of arbitrary restrictive local 
legislation. 

The new Belgian tax statute is 
noteworthy, loo, because it is a 
rare instance of close coopera- 
tion between trade and ministry 
of finance in drafting a law har- 
monizing their conflicting in- 
terests. 

The tax schedules established 
are regarded by the U.B.A. a.s 
"realistic" and the lowest pos- 
sible. This view is borne out 
by comparison with coin ma- 
chine tax rales in other coun- 
tries. 

Continental trade experts gen- 
erally are highly impressed by

Midwest Operators to 
View Grand Prix Line 



CHICAGO — Empire Coin 
Machine Exchange is holding 
premiere showings this week of 
the now Rock-Ola Grand Prix 
phonograph for Michigan, Wis- 
consin and Illinois operators. 

Empire owner Gil Kitt and 
Manager Joe Robbins will at- 
tend all sessions. Initial unveil- 
ing was held in Chicago's Como 
Inn last Friday (3), with several 
hundred operators in attendance. 

Second session will be in 
(irand Rapids, Mich., in Empire 
showrooms at 1955 South Divi- 



sion. April 8. Dick Flaherty, 
manager of the Grand Rapids 
office, will host the affair. 

Showing will be held Thurs- 
day (9) in Menominee, Mich., in 
Empire showrooms at 1034 20th 
Street, with Bob Rondeau as 
host. On Friday (10), Rondeau 
will host a showing in Milwau- 
kee at the Ambassador Hotel 
2308 West Wisconsin. 

The same Friday (10), Empire 
will hold a show in Detroit, 
again in its showrooms at 7743 
Puritan. Bob Wiley, Detroit 
manager, will host the evening. 



the new Belgian statute. They 
predict it will become a model 
for the European trade at large. 
Virtually all European countries 
have local coin machine tax- 
ation, which enormously com- 
plicates coin machine operation 
in those countries.

Special Session 

The Governor's order came 
after a special session of the 
Legislature met last week. A 
member of the House presented 
a resolution condemning gam- 
bling at Hot Springs. It was 
adopted by a 92-3 vole. 

Governor Faubus felt it was 
a mandate to close down gam- 
bling and ordered it closed or 
threatened raids by Arkansas 
State Police. Hot Springs offi- 
cials ordered the casinos lo close 
after Saturday night (28). 

But all involved said "they 
will open again. It is only a 
matter of lime. They have been 
going off and on for 100 years." 

And the coin machine opera- 
tors are frankly hoping for the 
big crowds of visitors again.

turer of continuous film system
